COLLEGE 


MAIN ENTRANCE 
ESLEYAN COLLEGE occupies an ideal location in the heart 


of the residential section of the city of Macon. It fronts 
on College Street, one of the most beautiful streets in Amer- 


\) ica. The College buildings, five in number, are of brick 


and marble and are commodious and convenient. All build- 
ings are connected by covered passageways. 


Macon, one of the most beautiful of Southern cities, has a remark- 
able atmosphere of culture and religion and is one of the most healthful 
cities in the world. For the school year it is unsurpassed in climate. It 
escapes the hard winters of the North and the oppressive heat of the 
extreme South. The hill country of middle Georgia enjoys a climate as 
invigorating as the mountains, while it escapes the ice and snows of the 
Northern winters.

SECTION OF FRONT CAMPUS 


ESLEYAN COLLEGE was chartered in 1836 and opened its 
doors for students in 1839. Its work has been uninterrupted 

from that time with the exception of a few months during 
\) the Civil War. Some of the most illustrious of American 
educators have taught within its halls. 

Bishop Pierce, Dr. William Ellison, Dr. Bass, Dr. Bonnell, Mrs. J. B. 
Cobb, have been among its distinguished DEE wer 

The alumnae is one of the largest and Host distinguished bodies of 
women in the world. Illustrious names ii @ that of Laura Haygood are 
found not infrequently in the lists. 


OF THE LIBRARY 


A CORNER 


ESLEYAN has always had her choice of girls. The students 
are a splendid body of young women. There is nothing bois- 


f \) terous or unladylike tolerated among them, but they are 


positive and strong. The spirit of leadership is in the very 
atmosphere. They have among themselves their own government and ad- 
minister it with great fidelity. They are real women. 

The standards of scholarship at Wesleyan are as high as are found 
in any school for men in the state. The published entrance requirements 
and curricula are exactly required. We live up to our professions con- 
scientiously. The members of the Faculty have had good training for their 
specialties in the best anivercities! They are strong and consecrated men 


and women who have the teacher’s gift. 


SENIORS 


LARGE variety of courses is offered, so that a young lady 
may study those branches that she likes best while looking to 
graduation with a College degree. The same number of hours 
are required for graduation without reference to the 
courses elected or to the degree desired. 

The equipment of the laboratories for the best teaching of the modern 
sciences is very fine. Every experiment necessary for the study of a 
science may be made by the individual student. | 

A splendid department of Domestic Science under an excellent teacher 
will be ready for the opening of the Fall Semester. It will have the most 
modern equipment, and the very highest grade college work will be done. 
Credit toward a regular degree will be given for this course. 


THE CROW’S NEST 


A GROUP OF EXPRESSION STUDENTS 


| HE Wesleyan School of Oratory is a special feature of the 
College so far as the fine arts are concerned. Miss Anne 
Chenault Wallace has made a brilliant record in several large 
colleges as instructor and entertainer. She is a_ grad- 


uate from the Columbia School of Expression, has several 
diplomas from the Emerson School of Oratory, and a certificate from the 
Harvard Summer School. She is a young woman of charming personality, 
of broad culture, and is an author of some note. She is, perhaps, the most 
brilliant teacher of Oratory in the entire South. 
The rooms for the use of the department are well equipped, and the 
students are given all needed opportunity for practice. 


IN WINTER’S GRIP . 


OURTEEN officers and teachers in the Conservatory make a 


really great music Faculty. Some of these teachers have been 


. at Wesleyan for years and have taught some of the leading 

musicians of Georgia. They have had training in the best 
conservatories of America, and many of them have had illustrious teach- 
ers during long stays in Europe. The master of great piano-teachers and 
pianists is represented in the Wesleyan Faculty by one of his well-trained 
pupils. The voice department is in the hands of two of the finest teachers 
in the South. Wesleyan has one of the most gifted violinists on the con- 
tinent, who has, too, the gift of teaching. 

Mr. Jos. Maerz, who has toured America as a concertist, playing in all 
of the principal cities in company with several of the world’s greatest 
musicians, and official pianist of the Jamestown Exposition for three 
months, is the head of the Music department. Mr. Maerz is not only a 
brilliant pianist, but is a teacher of distinguished ability, having held for 
six years a professorship of Piano in the great Music department of Syra- 
cuse University. 

The College has also been very fortunate in securing Mr. James R. 
Gillette, a graduate of Syracuse University, an officer in the American 
Guild of Organists and a distinguished concertist, as a teacher of Pipe 
Organ, Theory, and Harmony. 

Wesleyan has one of the best pipe organs in the state. 

Fifty new pianos are in perfect order and readiness for practice. 

Drawing and Painting in Charcoal, Oil, etc., have their place at Wes- 
leyan, and it is no unimportant place. The Art department is simply un- 
surpassed. The head of that school has had the best American and 
European training, and is prepared to do the highest order of work. Por- 
trait painting from life is taught with great care. Every beautiful piece 


of scenery in the vicinity of the College furnishes a subject for the brush 


of the young artists. Their work is thoroughly original—a good founda- 
tion in the principles of perspective is laid, and then all the artistic origin- 
ality of the pupil is drawn out by the skillful teacher. One of her pupils won 
a Cooper Union, New York, scholarship this year over many American com- 


petitors. 


The China Painting department scarcely needs to: be mentioned. So 
great has been the growth of the department that recently the size of the 
kiln for firing china has had to be multiplied by three. Two large kilns now 
amply meet the need, and quite a number of young ladies can be accom- 


modated in that popular department. 


A PORTION OF REAR CAMPUS 


THE CHAPEL 


HE religious life of the College is becoming deeper and 
stronger as the years go by. Tidal waves of worldliness sweep- 
ing over the country do not affect the College. No student 


( attends card parties, dances, or theatres. We are old-fash- 
ioned Christians at Wesleyan, too busy for dissipation and 
folly. 


The Young Woman’s Christian Association is very strong, practically 
embracing the student-body. The Missionary Society is doing excellent 
work. The Bible is taught in the College course; there is also a course in 
Mission Study and a course in Sunday School Pedagogy. The students are 
banded in other groups for Mission Study. The College has a pastor 
who assists the President in the religious leadership. Either he or the 
President preaches to the students each Sunday evening. On Sunday morn- 
ing, every girl attends a church of the denomination to which her parents 
belong. 

Many a young woman has been led to Christ at Wesleyan College, and a 
large number of the leading Christian workers have gone from her halls. 


SENIOR-SOPHOMORE RECEPTION 


HE home life of the Wesleyan girls is very happy. Student 
government is an ideal democracy in College discipline. The 
Faculty and all officials exert themselves to see that every 
needed attention and protection is accorded the individual 
student. All teachers are approachable and cordial. They 

love the companionship of the girls. 


The rooms are bright and sunny, the wide porches extend quite 
around the buildings, and the view across the city is perfectly lovely. 
The genial disposition of polite young women from the first homes of the 
country, added to the sunlight of the natural environment, makes the 
school life most happy. The culinary department is in charge of 
one of the best stewardesses in America. She furnishes the tables with 


a remarkable variety, well prepared and most attractively served. “How 
can she at the board we pay ?”’ is the student’s constant query. 

The health of the young ladies is carefully looked after by one of the 
best trained nurses in the city. Wesleyan is noted for its healthy girls. 

Macon, one of the most beautiful of Southern cities, is situated in the 
hills of Middle Georgia, and Wesleyan faces its best street and is sur- 
rounded on every side of the campus by the choicest of Southern homes. 
No more inspiring environment could possibly be asked. Nearly two 
hundred of the best girls of Macon attend the College, giving the insti- 
tution as large a patronage and as thorough endorsement as could possibly 
be desired. The absolute loyalty of Macon is a deserved tribute to the gen- 
uineness of Wesleyan’s work.

SENIOR AND JUNIOR HALL AND GYMNASIUM 


A PART OF CAMPUS 


HE College campus contains eight acres well adapted to the 
purpose of field athletics. It is laid off in lawns, tennis 
a courts, basket-ball grounds, ete. It has beautiful shade 

( trees and summer houses. There is but little of the winter 

too severe for outdoor sports, and none of the autumn or 

spring is too hot. Besides the outdoor life on the campus, the young ladies 
are given opportunity for walks in the best parts of the city and sur- 


rounding country. 

The College Gymnasium is under the direction of one of the best 
teachers in the South. All necessary apparatus is furnished, and the 
Gymnasium is splendidly equipped. The students are required to take 
proper exercise.

UT it costs too much at Wesleyan.”’ Does it 

though? Two hundred and sixty dollars for 
the best board, lights, laundry, all college 
fees and literary tuition. By taking a cheaper 
room—and all the rooms are very good—a 
young lady can go through the four years at Wesleyan and 
obtain a first-class literary education for less than one 
thousand dollars. It can be done at few schools of high 
grade. Wesleyan offers the best at the most reasonable 
cost. 


In the special departments no more is charged than is 
absolutely necessary to maintain the departments at their 
very high standards. Wesleyan gives good value for every 
dollar paid by her patrons. The School is not conducted to 
make money, but to render service to American woman- 
hood.
